American Comics: Opening Guidance Batman

Chapter 256: Hugo's Adventures in Wonderland (middle)

With the experience of Hugo entering the minds of ordinary people many times, generally speaking, the human consciousness space presents a dark state of nothingness, and there will be many very strange things surrounding it, which are generally what human beings have been thinking about recently. .

The consciousness space on the surface will be relatively empty, most of which are daily fragments. If you want to describe it in a specific scene, it is probably a square with many fragments and wonderful objects floating. Under the floor of the square, there are human beings. deep consciousness.

In general, the structure of human consciousness is not complicated. In addition to the upper and lower floors, there may be some floating small rooms. The properties of these small rooms are different. Some people have many, some people do not, at least This was the case among the countless patients Hugo had seen.

But today, this consciousness space is different, because Hugo saw a restaurant standing on the square as soon as he landed.

It was a very Gotham-style restaurant with a tall and narrow building. There were a few large characters on the door number, which said "Iceberg Restaurant", but the difference was that there was indeed a layer of ice around it, and there were several others. Small icebergs guard the door of the restaurant like a guard.

At this time, a thin figure came out of the restaurant, and when he saw Hugo, he was stunned and asked him, "Who are you?"

Hugo was also stunned, because he had never seen a living thing in the human consciousness space.

If human beings are likened to a peach, then the consciousness space is the peach pit in the middle, and the peach pit itself is a part of the peach, and no peach has a whole peach in the peach pit.

Consciousness space itself is a manifestation of personality, so no one will recreate another self in their own consciousness space, at least in most cases.

But now, Hugo saw this wonderful state. He saw a whole peach in the peach pit. Not only was it complete, but it was a bit too complete.

The Cobot in front of him was dressed completely differently from the real space. He was now in a suit and leather shoes, his hair was neatly combed, his feet were wearing shiny leather shoes, and he had a round smile that was not his age.

Hugo has seen many people depicting a more perfect self in their conscious space, but that is usually not expressed through the image of a complete person, but usually some key items or keywords.

For example, a person with a lack of academic qualifications hopes that he can have a better academic qualification, then there will be some things in his consciousness space that represent tests, scores, admission letters or degree certificates, or there will be a separate small room, to represent his good hope.

The average person's brain is not strong enough to visualize the imagination to such a level of detail, and it is even less possible to maintain such nuanced fantasies in a state of hypnotized relaxation.

It was also the first time that Hugo saw that someone imagined another self in their minds, and at the same time, they imagined it so carefully, as if it had a soul.

"It's you?" Cobot looked at Hugo with a little doubt and said, "Is this what you mean by hypnosis? You can actually come in here."

Hugo looked at him and the building called Iceberg Restaurant behind him in a daze, but Cobot kept that smile and said, "Since everyone is here, why don't you come in and sit inside."

Hugo followed Cooper into the interior of the Iceberg Restaurant, and what surprised him even more happened, everything there was as detailed as reality.

This is almost impossible, just like when a person is dreaming, although he thinks he has seen some specific things in his dream, if a second person enters his dream, he will find that most of the The things that appear in the dream are very general and hazy, and extremely incoherent.

This is the normal state of the human brain in a relaxed state, ignoring many unimportant details and conveying only a few main concepts.

This is not the case for this Iceberg restaurant in the depths of Cocobot's consciousness, ranging from the decoration, layout and structure of the entire restaurant, to the wood grain on the bar counter and the lustre reflected on the bar chairs. It can be said that if this restaurant Appears in reality, then it can open for business directly without any modification.

This is completely beyond Hugo's expectations. Even an interior decoration designer needs to go through countless revisions and adjustments to realize the designs and pictures in his mind into a design work. If a teacher can decipher his imagination to this level, he will definitely be the most successful designer in the world, no one.

Before Hugo could finish being surprised, the door of the restaurant rang, and an adult male in a suit walked in. Cobblet greeted him, "Professor Frith, are you here so early today?"

"Oh, Cobot, here you are. How's your course going today? Have you learned all the Protestant knowledge?"

"I'll review it later..."

Looking at the smooth dialogue between the two, Hugo was still immersed in shock, but he couldn't help but start to analyze that in Cobble's consciousness, this Professor Frith might represent the role of supervising his studies. To start reviewing and taking stock of his learnings, Professor Frith shows up.

Hugo went down and continued to stare at Victor who came in. He seemed to want to find some incongruity in him, but he didn't find it at all. Although he had never seen this Professor Frith, he was able to get it from Coppa. The image in Te's mind shows that he is a wise, erudite, and refined professor.

Before he could think of the answer, the door rang again, and a man in a long trench coat and holding an umbrella walked in. Hugo was a little surprised and said, "Schiller?"

"How is it, Mr. Cobblet, has your condition improved? How are you feeling lately? Aren't you planning to move?"

Hugo could see that Schiller seemed to play the role of a gentle doctor in Cobot's heart.

But this is normal, Hugo thought. In the records of Cobot's treatment, Hugo did not see any radical therapy, just some conservative psychological counseling and conversations. No wonder Cobot thinks that Schiller is a Good doctor, but Hugo believes that this kind of conservative treatment is completely Schiller's inaction.

At this moment, Hugo in reality frowned, while exploring the world of Cobot's consciousness, he whispered: "Come on, let me see what you fear the most..."

Saying that, he pressed a button on the machine with his hand, the machine made two sharp alarms, and then Cobot's conscious world shook violently.

A fierce scream came from the broken space. Hugo saw that an old woman covered in blood with a sharp knife in her hand was extremely huge. One finger was bigger than the entire Pingshan restaurant. Her face was covered in blood, waving a dagger. In an instant, the space of Cobot's consciousness was shattered.

Hugo, who was connected to the machine, also let out a scream, then woke up and sat on the ground for a long time.

Hugo stood up holding his forehead, and he whispered: "I should have thought... fear will also be more vivid and destructive..."

But Cobot just woke up from the chair like a nightmare, and Hugo, who was pale, had to hold on and said, "The result is not bad, it's just that your willpower is a little fragile, and it may be affected by some of you. disturbed by the image of fear..."

"I know." Cooper said calmly, "because I often have nightmares."

He saw Hugo, who seemed to be exhausted, and felt a little disdain. He didn't feel that this hypnotherapy had improved his condition, but the doctor seemed to be very tired.

He shook his head, and before leaving, he thought, come back next time while Dr. Schiller is there, this substitute doctor is really not very good.

Hugo did not give up when he encountered setbacks from Cobot. He felt that this might just be a coincidence. Cobot was the kind of gifted child that is unique, so he was very specific in the realization of details, but he still believed that this It doesn't reach the level of a hall of thinking, but it's just a more refined imagination of one's own dreams and expectations.

Another name on the medical records that Hugo was somewhat familiar with was Victor Frith.

Hugo was once in Cobble's conscious space and heard Cobble call him "Professor Frith".

This medical record states that Victor suffers from a mild anxiety disorder, and the symptoms are written in general terms. There is a record of a single drug treatment, which seems to have recovered quickly, but Hugo is still curious about it, and he wants to see it. To see if Victor is the same as in the world of Cobot's consciousness, so he called Victor again.

As Schiller's colleague, Victor of course knew that he had resigned, but this time Hugo used the reason that there was a problem with the invoice for the drug, and hoped that Victor would come over to communicate.

The issues of invoices, tax payment and insurance are very important, and Victor didn't think there was anything wrong, because he had come here once before because of the invoice.

Entering the consultation room, when Hugo asked for a simple review, Victor didn't think much about it. He thought it might be that Hugo was sure that the previous doctor did not abuse drugs, so he cooperated and lay down on the chair. .

Hugo entered Victor's consciousness in the same way, and then, the moment he entered, he was blown to the ground by a violent cold wind blowing in his face.

He was facing a vast ice field that was extremely cold. Hugo looked around in confusion and found that there seemed to be no end here.

As mentioned before, the surface consciousness of human beings is like a square. The reason why it is called a square instead of a plain is because the size of human consciousness space is limited, and the limit of most people’s consciousness space lies in the limit of imagination and thinking. , but Hugo walked for a long time in this vast snow field, and did not see the border at all.

There are only three things here, ice, snow, and snow that is turning into ice. Maybe even the wind doesn't exist, because Hugo didn't hear any sound of the wind. It was an extremely quiet space.

But silence is not a good thing, it makes it colder here. Hugo has only one feeling from beginning to end, that is, it is cold, extremely cold.

Hugo gritted his teeth and held his breath, trying to crack the secret of this consciousness space, but no matter which direction he walked, how long he walked, what gestures he made, and what words he shouted, the only response to him was continuous. Heavy snow, and endless ice fields.

There are no abstract concepts, no fragments of memory, nothing that should exist in the human mind, only ice and snow, only cold.

Just when Hugo was so desperate that he was about to give up~www.NovelMTL.com~ Finally, he saw a trace of flame appearing at the end of the ice field. When his consciousness was frozen and numb, he finally saw a bunch of small campfires.

There are several figures around the campfire, namely Cobot who is squatting and roasting his hands, Victor who is standing next to him reading a book, and Schiller who is adding wood to the campfire...

Why is it Schiller again? Hugo thought, why is he everywhere?

But other than that. There was nothing left again. Looking at the endless snow field around him, Hugo's heart was numb, but he dutifully pressed the button on the machine, wanting to see what Victor was afraid of. .

Then, he heard a subtle "click" sound from the consciousness space, like a cracking sound, and then it became louder and louder...

In an instant, a terrifying storm swept through everything.

When Hugo's consciousness returned to his body, he couldn't help shaking his arms, his teeth chattering.

In the well-heated office with the fireplace burning, he felt the extreme cold that he had never felt in his life.
